My dearest friend Julie... you are such a beautiful person in and out!!! I'm blessed to have known you!!! Happy birthday my dearest!! Looks like you had blast!!! ANd I heart Brookie layout too... and I do enjoy looking at your lovely photos too... big hugs xoxo!!

Birthdays are worth celebrating as many times as possible, especially if it means being able to eat out. :) Happy, happy birthday! I love your wonderful zoo layout with the great map paper and fun tickets tucked in too!

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the 3D page that Brookie made for you! Great pics....looks like everyone had fun!Love your lo! Great to have one on the maps so that you remember that that's what Brookie loves!

Happy, happy birthday!Looks like a wonderful celebrations!!And my son is obsessed with maps, too! It's so funny how he needs to get one everywhere we go (the zoo, botanical gardens, six flags) and he is so serious when reading them :)super cute layout!!!

Wishing you a VERY happy birthday today, my sweet friend! May this 41st year be your very best yet! Looks like you've had some wonderful celebrations already. I got to eat out lots for my Thanksgiving birthday, too. ;)Love your layout of little Brookie. So reminds me of my son......he used to be the exact same way with the zoo maps. What fabulous memories this brings back. Really love your design!

Happy birthday! Wishing you the best year so far!! I love your layout. Trevor is map-obsessed too. Just this weekend, I finally designated a container for him to store his ever-growing map collection. I should scrap that. Thanks for the inspiration!

Wishing you the happiest of birthdays!!!!Love that you shared your birthday pictures with all of us. I have to tell you that I and both my girls are map lovers no matter where we go! The only one who gets lost in our family is hubby. ;) Fun layout with great touches of embellishments!

My (17 year old) son is just like Brookie in the map department. Which is fine w/ me because I can't read a map to save my life so when we go to an amusement park or any other place like that, my son is the official tour guide.

Happy birthday ,birthday twin! I am so loving all the photos! You have an amazing phamily! I love the photos. Don't you just love all the cool free stuff on your birthday!? I still have a free dinner from Texas de Brazil! The Chili's brownie sundae and IHOP free breakfast! I had a bunch of stuff free! Tonight my oldest son and hubby took me to Three Margarita's! It was fun! My oldest and her phamily bought me my annual Holiday Barbie! I had a super fun day altho my workplace was slammed and busy as bees harvesting honey! I wanted to say happy day to you before the day ends! I have to come back and catch up! My tree is not up and I don't want all my colorful lite up neighbors to think we are Jehovah's Witnesses! Lots goiong on here but you are beautiful and so is the phamily! Love to you and I loved your sweet Christmas card! You inspire me to get busy! Love ya Anne

what a lovely post and awesome page! my daughter is the same, loves to hold the map, and Happy Birthday to you! you should buy yourself the Bella and Edward ornament for your birthday, they could live together forever on your tree :) If you don't have a Hallmark store where you live, I did see it online...

That is so awesome Brookie loves to read maps! Seeing she loves to blog (computer skills) and read maps maybe she will design a program and become an electronic Map Publisher or something when she gets older!!! Never know right! Love the layout Julie , it is super sweet soooo perfectly placed! It looks like you had a fantastic Birthday by having your family around!!! Too bad you didn't win a million! hugs

So glad you had a wonderful birthday!! You so deserve a special day. You are such a special gal ~ always so encouraging and so faithful to leave the most encouraging comments!! What a perfect page for these photos of Brookie at the zoo!! ~ Blessings, Tracey

Remembering Aleida :)

I am dedicated to carry her tradition on :)

Get in the photos my friends.....

"There is a reason why I'm posting these pictures. Pictures that I'm actually in. Not because I think I'm all that and a trip to Hollywood. No. It's because I'm actually tired of being worried about how I look and not taking or having very many photos of me with my children. I have very few pictures of me and my babies when they were babies, and I have myself to blame. Precious opportunities to capture on paper, lost because of my silliness. Well no more I say! One day I won't be here and there will be hardly any pictures of them and their mama. So ladies, hand over the camera and get in those photos! Please. You'll be happier you did."

~~Aleida Franklin wrote these profound words on August 6th, 2008... and she died one month and 6 days later...

Get in those photos my friends... Aleida changed my life forever.....

These are a Few of My Favorite Things! :)

My Baby and forever in my heart!
